Quote: NickyKiss "We just don’t do it. Mago kills me in that regard. He had chances at HKR the other night to just smash his way over players but he doesn’t do it. We have one forward who scores try’s and that is Faz, but even he doesn’t score what I’d call ‘forwards try’s’. His try’s are from his brilliant line running and support play from deep. We need a forward or two that will just smash his way over the line. I look at Dupree and Walters and they could be those guys.'"



Byrne is one that frustrates me in that regard, he runs in really hard often from a deeper position but seems to get stopped quite quickly which for someone his size seems a bit odd, Ellis made more ground in contact in the last game which was good to see and hopefully he can continue doing that. Mago too often seems to get the ball standing still rather than bursting onto the ball, he can make reasonable ground but too slowly.

You can still have wingers scoring tries under the sticks though. It would be interesting to see exactly how many of his kicks last season were difficult ones. French would often score a breakaway try but still under the sticks.

This isn't true Stu. I remember saying last year that we score most of our tries out wide. Even if we had 10 break away tries that ended up under the sticks (and I'm being generous there as not all break away tries end up under the sticks as chasers back often force them out wide) it's still in single figures percent of his overall kicks taken. He still kicked way more from out wide than the next best kickers kicked in total! That's a sobering thought...

Decide for yourself pal

There may be a few more with his burst of speed closer to the sticks than your average winger, but not enough to be an outlier and many are still in the 1/3 of the pitch closest to the sideline.

As a side note, what a year French had. That's just 1 season's of tries, and is probably better than most player's career highlight reel!

Smith was statistically the best kicker in SL last year
Smith kicked them from all over the shop last year Inc. More than his fair share from out wide
